The Kangaroo March Centenary Re-enactment Association has a busy 17 months ahead, with plans for the re-enactment in full swing.

Music and education director OJ Rushton has worked closely with Bowral Public School and other children to create a children's choir for the march.

Youngsters will learn old fashioned songs and will be dressed in period costumes as they commemorate some 200 recruits who marched from Wagga Wagga through the Southern Highlands to Sydney.

"The aim is for children to experience and take ownership of what happened 100 years ago," Ms Rushton said.

"The choir will possibly sing unpublished music previously sung in 1915 and there will be exciting and well-known artists on board."

Bowral High School history students have immersed themselves in research and have opened the door to boundless personal stories from WWI.

History and geography teacher Geoff Andrews said the project required a lot of hard work but was a great opportunity.

"Getting the story out gets more people to come and tell us their stories," Mr Andrews said.

Year 10 student Caitlin Stephens said the project has been full of surprises.

"It really brings history home, I found one person that used to live on Bowral Street," she said.

Caitlin's peer Arm Francis said the research had not only been interesting but also rewarding.

"We weren't motivated at the start but the deeper we dig the more connected we get," he said.
